The meeting lasted much longer than Brandon expected.
By the time he finally left the operations room, Fredrinn and Minerva had given him enough reports, maps and requests to keep Southern Command occupied for days.
The Municipal Emergency Authority wanted civilians recovered from sectors the MDC could no longer safely reach.
The Industrial Continuity Directorate had its own lists. Workers, engineers, specialists, workshops and facilities they believed Silverpeak could not afford to lose.
Brandon understood Federick's complaints much better now. Both groups had spent months pushing the MDC to do more.
From the outside, they could easily sound ungrateful. MDC soldiers had already died keeping the remaining districts alive, and every operation they launched took ammunition, vehicles and people away from somewhere else.
But Brandon could not completely blame Fredrinn or Minerva either.
